In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong

But...but Mom really doesn't have any money..."

Tears streamed down her face as she sobbed, and Chen Hai felt an overwhelming pang of heartache, so he hugged Tang Chuchu tightly.

"Chuchu, don't be sad, you still have me!"

Tell me how much your dad needs for medical expenses, and I'll pay!

Upon hearing this, Tang Chuchu shook her head while crying, clenching her teeth and refusing to speak, while Cai Cai tugged at Chen Hai's sleeve.

"Uncle Chen, don't trouble yourself. My grandmother says she needs 300,000 yuan for surgery. You don't earn money easily..."

"Oh, you silly child, 300,000 is still something your Uncle Chen can afford. Chuchu, don't cry. When lives are at stake, there can't be any delays."

"Brother Hai, no! I can't take your money!"

"What do you mean 'yours' and 'mine'? What's mine is yours. Take it if I give it to you. Come on, let's go get it now!"

Hearing this, Tang Chuchu was still unwilling, and in the end, Chen Hai forcibly took Tang Chuchu out.

Before the bank closed, Chen Hai withdrew a full 300,000 yuan in cash and handed it to Tang Chuchu. Tang Chuchu burst into tears, her eyes glistening with Chen Hai's image.

That evening, Chen Hai experienced the ultimate tenderness and enjoyment again, and couldn't help but feel that the money was well spent!

The next morning, Monday, Tang Chuchu left with Cai Cai, saying she was going back to her hometown to send medical expenses to her parents.

Chen Hai warmly escorted the mother and son to the high-speed rail station.

On the same day, taking advantage of the recent online buzz surrounding Lüzhou, Yuehu University launched its official WeChat account.

Meanwhile, the news that Minister Hao, who had retired, would become the president of Yuehu University quickly spread across the internet.

In no time, the title of the most prestigious university on the entire internet was born.

That afternoon, "Principal Hao" announced using the official account of Yuehu University that Yuehu University would be recruiting students in September, with a total of 2,000 undergraduate students to be enrolled this time.

Some intelligent people who knew that Yuehu University was no ordinary institution couldn't sit still any longer.

Who wouldn't want their child to go to a good university?

Those established universities require high scores, and even if they use some loopholes to compensate, they still need to reach a certain level of score. In particular, the joint announcement by 72 universities a few months ago closed some loopholes, such as those for overseas returnees.

In contrast, Yuehu University has attracted the retired Minister Hao to serve as its president, which shows the importance that the higher authorities attach to Yuehu University, especially considering that Dongsheng Investment recently added 80 billion yuan to its investment in the construction of laboratories, etc.

Those with inside information wanted to take a roundabout approach to achieve their goal.

Instead of racking your brains to get into those top universities, you might as well come to Yuehu University with ease.

The most important thing is the access to Moon Lake University!

The admission process for Yuehu University consists of two parts: a written test and an interview. This is a new scheme and pilot program personally approved by the Ministry of Education.

The written test score only needs to reach the first batch of admission line in the college entrance examination to apply, followed by an interview. Some people think this is a loophole. But interviews are easy to understand.

In the following days, news broke that a high school senior had discovered a new species while hiking a hundred miles in the mountains and published a paper as the second author in a top international journal, after which he said he wanted to come to Moon Lake University.

Then several high school seniors won first prize in the Youth Robotics Innovation Competition and announced their applications to Yuehu University. These are just the visible signs of chaos.

Behind the scenes, Minister Hao has to refuse several calls every day from people trying to "pull strings".

It's only because Minister Hao was tough enough to reject all these monsters and demons outright; if it were someone else... it would have been quite a stretch.

Chen Luo was so busy with various tasks in Lüzhou that he couldn't stop.

Jingzhou.

Two weeks have passed since Tang Chuchu left with Cai Cai. During this time, Chen Hai has been talking to Tang Chuchu on the phone. Tang Chuchu explained that she needed to stay in her hometown to accompany her father for treatment.

This explanation is reasonable, and Chen Hai has no choice but to believe it. Subconsciously, Chen Hai feels that ordinary people wouldn't dare to deceive him.

In addition, the work in Guangming District was very busy, and Yi Xuexi visited the community several times but was unable to resolve the issue of the renovation.

The Party Secretary's Office.

Chen Hai pushed open the door and saw Yi Xuexi looking worried.

"Chen Hai, you're here? Sigh, these troublemakers still refuse to accept our terms."

Why can't we learn from the people of Luzhou? The Luzhou announcement was issued two weeks ago.

The relocation was carried out in an orderly manner last week, and by Monday, the entire area was almost completely demolished.

Listening to Yi Xuexi's complaints, especially his frequent use of the term "troublemaker," is enough to show how angry he was.

“Secretary Yi, human nature is greedy. The key is to solve the problem. Our Guangming District can’t delay any longer. We must seize the time to start construction.”

“I understand, but those residents…”

"If all else fails, just pay half. Pay half the cost of the additional structure. If they still refuse to sign, then we'll take legal action and send those troublemakers to jail one by one!"

"Let's do it!"

Now that they had no way to retreat, Yi Xuexi and Chen Hai were determined. That very day, they negotiated with the residents of the two communities with stern faces and gave their final terms.

Ordinary people act according to the situation. Knowing that the Guangming District Committee and District Government would not back down, those troublemakers took advantage of the situation and signed the agreement that very day.

This resulted in Guangming District having to pay an additional 300 million yuan in compensation.

Even if all future projects are completed smoothly, there will be very little profit left for the Guangming District Committee and District Government.

Chapter 165 Liu Mingyu and Lu Yike's Wedding

Once the residents have signed the agreement, the demolition team will arrive.

In order to speed up the process, Guangming District did not even conduct a complete and detailed project bidding process.

The bidding process was completed in just three days, and a local construction company in Jingzhou City was chosen to carry out the project construction.

The reason... is naturally that this company offered a low price and promised to complete the construction within six months.

At the end of the month, Chen Luo received an invitation from Lu Zheng'an.

Lu Yike and Liu Mingyu have already registered their marriage.

The Lu family does not intend to be too ostentatious.

The wedding should be simple; just invite some relatives, friends, and colleagues to have a lively celebration.

Just then, Chen Luo finished most of his work. The renovation of the old city was on track, the main structure of Yuehu University was completed, and now it was time to build the decoration and laboratories. The industrial park was also progressing rapidly, and in two months, the overseas research institutes would be able to be moved back to China.

It was Saturday, and Chen Luo's family was all ready by morning. Chen Zhengxi was dressed in a beautiful rainbow princess dress, while Chen Zhengshu wore a handsome silver suit. The two little ones had a task: they were to be the flower girl and the one rolling on the bed at the wedding.

Chen Luo was dressed as usual, in an executive jacket, but her hair was styled more carefully.

Zhang Nian, dressed in a purple dress, and her family of four, after getting ready, drove to the location indicated on Lu Zheng'an's invitation.

This is a private mountain resort that usually hosts picnics and parties, but now it has been transformed into a wedding venue.

There weren't many people attending the wedding; it was mostly the Lu family and Liu Mingyu's close relatives, plus some cadres from Handong.

That adds up to about a hundred people.

As soon as Chen Luo got out of the car, Lu Yike and Liu Mingyu came to greet him.

"Secretary Chen!"

"You two are the main characters today, so don't be shy."

Chen Luo smiled and greeted the newlyweds before walking toward Lu Zheng'an and Liu's father.

"Brother Lu, congratulations! This must be Director Liu, right?"

Liu Mingyu's father was no ordinary person; he was a deputy director of the Health Commission, a deputy provincial-level cadre. Of course, he was not on par with the Lu family.

"Secretary Chen, this is our first meeting. Thank you for taking care of my Mingyu!"

Mr. Liu stepped forward and grasped Chen Luo's hands tightly. To be honest, he was truly grateful from the bottom of his heart.

"No need to be so polite, Director Liu. Mingyu is very diligent in his work, and as his superior, I will naturally help him if I can."

"Come on, Brother Chen, I'll take you to meet my elder brother and father. They've been wanting to see you for a long time."

Chen Luo nodded, and Liu's father also consciously refrained from speaking.

After crossing the lawn, Chen Luo arrived at the villa's house, led by Lu Zheng'an.

Inside the room sat three people. One was an elderly man with gray hair, sitting steadily in the center. On either side of him was a resolute man with three wheat ears and three stars, who looked somewhat like Lu Zheng'an and was obviously Lu Zheng'an's elder brother. The other was someone Chen Luo was very familiar with: Governor Liu.

"Dad, Big Brother, Chen Luo is here."

Lu Zheng'an spoke first, then introduced Chen Luo: "This is my father."

"Hello, Mr. Lu!"

Chen Luo's very polite greeting brought a bright smile to Old Master Lu's face. "Good lad! Full of energy, with a full forehead, you have unlimited potential for the future!"

"This is my older brother."

"Hello, Minister Lu!"

"I've heard the Grand Secretary mention you; you're quite good!"

"Sit down and let's talk."

As soon as Elder Lu spoke, Chen Luo and Lu Zheng'an sat down.

"Thank you for your help the other day, Comrade Chen Luo. Yi Ke is my only granddaughter, and I love her the most. I heard she was very sad during that time. Alas, when you get old, you become useless. Some people don't even give this old man any face anymore."

Chen Luo naturally understood what Old Master Lu meant; it was nothing more than Lu Yike's transfer to the position of Director of the Supervision Office.

"Dad, if you ask me, it's because the Zhong family is overreaching. They transferred their son-in-law to Handong a while ago, which is one thing."

Now they've brought their daughter to Handong too. That Zhong Xiaoai has absolutely no achievements to speak of in Beijing; she's shameless.

Lu Zheng'an was very unhappy about this.

At this moment, Lu Zheng'an's elder brother spoke up.

"Zheng'an, watch your step!"

Governor Liu smiled and took over the conversation.

"It's all about timing, fate, and luck. Sometimes coming to a place doesn't guarantee success; you might even fail there."

That's a very subtle statement.

The five talked for a while, and it was about an hour later that they left the room together.
